Please let us know when the issue has been resolved. I’ve been a long term customer without complaint and have recommended Public Mobile to many but these last few months have been very annoying with frequent dropped calls.

Will you post again once this is resolved?  I'm going to switch to public mobile but don't want to do it until I know calls won't be dropping.

Since returning to Canada (Toronto downtown), all of my calls in/out drop at some point.  Phone is current (top model), up to date etc.  Whats as frustrating, no way to enable/activate WiFi Calling to avoid this.  Here is the real kicker - spent months in southern US and had zero issues using PM service there - it connected to the T Mobile network and was consistently at 5G - never had any dropped calls.  Shame on Public Mobile and Telus for not resolving this for its many (soon to loose this one if not resolved) customers here in Canada.

Good that they finally acknowledge it. I have this issue for long time, 2 months, opened a  ticked with PM. got a text that it is a known issue.

It will be nice if PM inform us what is the issue and when it will be resolved.

Thanks for the update.  It's been happening a lot.

Wow, finally some sort of official acknowledgement! After trying multiple different phones and even buying a new 5G volte whitelisted phone to no avail. The issue is system wide it seems. Please let us know when this gets fixed.

Finally, an acknowledgement of this issue. I have been gas lit by support for weeks: suggesting I get a new SIM card (which I did), reset my phone (done) and get it serviced!

Thank you for taking action.

Thanks, I filed a complaint with Public.

@Danjohn2023  you have to message public mobile directly with your request.  Only the Community is seeing and reading your message.  Use the chatbot to place your official complaint and compensation request. 

hi @hairbag1 

i don't think this time was the same as last one.  But it is true that there has been quite a lot of voice problems in the past year.

I have had an ongoing problem with dropped calls since at least January.  Had my phone reprovisioned by  CS agent, and have done all the things that have been suggested and it keeps happening.  Very frustrating, and glad it is finally going to be looked at for resolution.  Winnipeg here.

 I communicate with my wife multiple times a day, (both are on Public Network) and we often experience disconnections, forcing either of us to redial. Occasionally, I’m on a call, sometimes even on hold for up to 20 minutes, and the call drops very very infuriating. This level of service is unacceptable for something as crucial as telecommunications. If this continues, I will have to escalate the issue to Telus or even CCTS. I urge you to review my call logs to see the frequency of these dropped calls throughout the day. This is getting to much and is an unacceptable level of service which I pay on a month basis for, I'm requesting compensation for this issue and an immediate resolution as acknowledged by Public to this issue.

Thank you! I’ve had few dropped calls for the last two weeks.

There is still network and call drop issue.

@funpig1 , yes you are correct,  we should be credited by a company when they fail to provide a service that we pay for.

I have yet to experience that here unfortunately. 

I've been here years now and still being refused by PM two times now after asking to upgrade from my original $15 plan that I've had for years now to a new activations only plan for $19 @ 3GB for 90 days.

But it's all good.

@funpig1 

 the $10 you got was a compensatoin for the drop calls?

In my experience, if you can demonstrate service issues, you should get compensation.

Finally, a public acknowledgment from Public Mobile!

Now fix it and compensate everybody who was affected.

If not, people should just file CCTS complaints.

Hallelujah! Thank you for acknowledging the issue... is there any kind of timeline for resolution? 

I agree with the other poster this thread should probably be pinned.
